Subject: Falconer's classic marine dictionary
Falconer's classic marine dictionary, all about the ships of the age of exploration, which are so adored by generations of ship modelers. For them this book should be a favourite.

Unfortunately the particular book that has been scanned here is missing 11 of the 12 illustrative plates, only Plate 2 was overlooked by thieves.
